We Were the Lucky Ones : une série de guerre bouleversante tournée à Malaga
We Were the Lucky Ones: A New Golden Age of TV Series Filming
There’s a new golden age of filming thanks to the boom in television series that has brought original, exceptional titles to the screen and plenty of unexpected filming to Malaga too.
The kind of series of pure fiction. So it is with We Were the Lucky Ones, a mega-production piece from the Hulu label – the Disney group’s distributor of fiction content for grown-ups. It tells the story of the tragedy of the Polish Jews during the Second World War.
We Were the Lucky Ones: A Story of Tragedy and Resilience
The mini-series was filmed in the provincial capital with an abundance of locations, extras and the presence of its leading man, Logan Lerman, the mythological, teenage hero of the Percy Jackson saga, this time a mere mortal as one of the brothers of a family struck by the barbarity of war and the holocaust.
Eight episodes were shot in Malaga and additional scenes filmed in Marbella and El Torcal Natural Park near Antequera, all of which allowed the story to be set up as though it took place in four different countries without even leaving the province.
We Were the Lucky Ones: Setting and Production
Adapted from the best-seller of the same name by Georgia Hunter, this production comes to the streaming platform thanks to writer and executive producer Erika Lipez and director and executive producer Thomas Kail.
Kail’s direction is reminiscent of the legendary 1978 mini-series entitled Holocaust and Sophie’s Choice.
We Were the Lucky Ones: Capturing the Journey
The uniqueness and appeal of We Were the Lucky Ones is that it tells the story of the entire Kurc family, a prosperous clan of merchants from Radom (Poland) and their five children who go from a comfortable life to then be scattered to the four winds as a result of the German invasion and the war that caused their exodus and separation.
But they all have one mission in mind: to find each other again.
